Merriam Vineyards

We showed up near closing on a day of going to a couple wineries.We were greeted by Scott with a glass of wine my partner was hoping to meet the winery dogs as we brought our dog along and heard about how dog friendly this place was, unfortunately their dogs were not available. However, they were very kind to us and our pooch. This is a nice winery with organic wines.very knowledge staff and great product we wished we had more time here.

Had a wonderful experience at Merriam. From the moment we walked in, they greeted us with a glass of Chardonnay (which was wonderful). Our host, Henry, was so friendly and knowledgeable. The grounds were beautiful. We even got to meet a couple dogs at the property. I would highly recommend paying them a visit next time you're in Healdsburg!

Rhonda was so welcoming during our wine tasting. She was able to personalize our flight and educate us on different varieties of wines. We also got a visit from multiple dogs while on the property! Walking the vineyards on our own was a real treat as well. We would rate 6 stars, definitely come here during your time in Sonoma!

Stopped in last minute on a road trip with my sister and we were so glad we did! We were met in the parking lot with a glass of wine and 2 adorable dogs! We did a tasting and they were super relaxed and knowledgeable, walking us through everything we needed to know. The owner even stopped by to chat for a bit too. We ended up buying a few bottles, including a Malbec, which I typically don’t like, but theirs was great! Highly recommend swinging by if you want a down to earth wine tasting experience!

10 outta 10! Definitely loved how kid friendly this place was! Literally felt like family. Dog friendly also ! We dropped in 1 afternoon when just browsing for a place to go and I'm literally speechless! I have very little words except this is an exceptional place. Thanks to our hosts! We most certainly will return !

We stopped by during our road trip and were really impressed. The wines were genuinely excellent. balanced, full of character, and clearly made with care. Claudia guided us through the tasting in a relaxed, personal way, which made the experience even better. A great stop if you appreciate good wine in a beautiful setting.

Great experience and fantastic wine selections. Dale was knowledgeable and very personable and welcoming. Yogi the springer spaniel was an added bonus. Felt like a family member just hanging out and enjoying great wine. Definitely recommend the experience if ever in the Russian River Valley area.

Don’t miss Merriam! This beautiful family owned winery was the best hospitality and wine I have EVER experienced at a winery. The eastside fumé blanc was my groups favorite. Scott, Claudia and Lauren were excellent hosts. The location is an easy exit off the highway but the tasting room is beautifully placed in the vineyard and olive trees so you do not feel like you are close to the highway. We hope to visit again soon!
